Chapter 1407: Threat

Seven Slaughters regretted the question as soon as he asked it. Where else would this meat come from, if not arcane beasts?!

There were no corpses here, just massive piles of meat and bones gnawed clean, as well as stacks of internal organs and hides.

The newly returned dukes were immensely indignant at the sight. Here they were, fighting for all they were worth on the rainbow bridge and tempering themselves against the arcane beasts. They balanced on the tightrope between life and death at every second, but the others were having a bonfire party??

Those who’d remained with Lu Yun were in high spirits and the ripples of energy coming from them seemed to have strengthened by a large amount.

“Did you guys do it?” Azureclad asked dumbly. “Did you guys kill the fifteen hundred arcane beasts?”

“Not us,” boomed a nearby cultivator. “Champion Duke killed a thousand with one stroke and the little princess handled another five hundred with less than half a breath. And take a look at our cultivation levels! Heh heh heh, it’s His Grace the Champion Duke and Her Highness Qing Ting who guided us themselves. How about it? We haven’t improved any less than you.” He smiled proudly.

…the cultivators who’d just escaped from the arcane beasts wanted nothing more than to curse everything in sight.

“I’m not going anywhere anymore! No more! No where! Screw this shitty trial and tempering, forget that stupid fighting! I’m not going anywhere anymore!” Blackclad plopped down and waved over a slightly charred piece of meat, chomping into it with gusto.

“Ooh, there’s wine here too. Hey little brother, will you share some with me?” He looked around and glimpsed Dragon Butterfly drinking with another cultivator. Blackclad quickly sidled up with a merry grin.

“Yeah, join us!” Slightly inebriated, Dragon Butterfly picked a jug and shoved it into the newcomer’s hands.

“My name is Long Batian!” she grumbled.

“Alright then, Long Batian.” Lu Yun swept a glance over the girl and continued, “You may now select one thousand and seven beasts to remain for the Dragonling Assembly. You can choose to fight each other, take your own life, or jump off the rainbow bridge… Whatever it takes, only one thousand and seven can remain on the bridge in the end.

“If Qing Ting and I have to make the choice for you… I can’t fully control my power yet, so I might just kill you all and leave no one behind.”

Hummm.

Cerulean-silver sword light flared from the Stellar Sword as a dragon shadow of the same color flashed past his side.
